Keeping the Beat - Healthy Aging Through Amateur Chamber Music Playing by Ada P. Kahn, Ph.D.

For years, medical professionals have been investigating the potential of music to facilitate wellness, improve communication and listening skills, and provide a multitude of other benefits. Notwithstanding, few people look upon music and say, “Hey, now that’s a good way for me to ensure a healthier life!”

Dr. Ada P. Kahn would like for you to say precisely that when picking up a clarinet, violin, a cello, or whatever else you prefer.

Kahn’s book, Keeping The Beat: Healthy Aging Through Amateur Chamber Music, is a straightforward endorsement of the vast list of benefits experienced by a mature adult while making music, emphasizing its social and creative benefits.
